Tanzania is Africa’s best country for a safari, according to a two-year-long survey by Safaribookings.com, based on thousands of reviews from safari travelers and industry experts. The key reason that Tanzania was rated the best is that it is home to the amazing Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater. But what else makes Tanzania so special? We give you 5 reasons why Tanzania should be on your bucket list.
Incredible wildlife
Tanzania is full of wildlife. The national parks and game reserves cover almost 40% of the countries territory. One of the best places to view wildlife in Africa is the Ngorongoro Crater. Due to the abundance of wildlife and beautiful landscape it is one of Africa’s Seven Natural Wonders. But none can surpass the great migration in the Serengeti when over a million wildebeest thunder across the plains and cross the dangerous rivers.
Exotic beaches
Another reason to add Tanzania to your bucket list is that you can combine a safari with the relaxation of white tropical beaches. The island of Zanzibar has around 30 beaches, nearly all of which are to die for. What better way to wash off the dust of your safari with a dip in the blue Indian Ocean. This exotic beach destination also offers also a variety of watersport activities and fascinating cultural tours in Stone Town.
Mighty mountains
The Kilimanjaro is a magnet to thousands of people who come to Tanzania every year with just one goal: to conquer Africa’s highest peak. Kilimanjaro rises high above the open African plains in Tanzania. Reaching the summit of the Kilimanjaro is a true adventure. Tanzania’s second-highest mountain, Mount Meru, is one of the most challenging and rewarding treks. Enjoy spectacular 360 degrees views of the Kilimanjaro and Rift Valley.
Fascinating cultures
Tanzania is a lovely mix of cultures, with more than 120 different tribes. During your safari, you can meet several tribes and learn more about their fascinating lifestyle first hand. From the famous Maasai to the Hadzabe Bushmen and the Datoga. Each of these tribes has different religions, rituals, and customs. It gives you new insights and perspectives. A lot of people experience these encounters as one of the most memorable.
Authentic safari experience
The western and southern safari parks are one of the few places left in Africa today where you have the chance to step back in time. Experience a truly authentic safari. The abundance of wildlife here is outstanding. From rivers filled with crocodiles and hippos in Katavi National Park to the rare wild dogs in Selous and spotting chimpanzees around Lake Victoria. And you don’t only have the option here of exploring the parks on a game drives but also on adventurous walking and boat safaris.
